Facts! Black is one of the most common and standard color there is. I'm guessing Ford got the wrong single piece black panels for the roof. So seems like instead of just having shells painted with the black roof already with the different colors, they just replace the fully colored panels with black ones. It saves money but I think they underestimated how many people would want the roof black. So that explains why I full black car can get scheduled because the shell is already that color. No extra work needed to replace that panel.Black is the cheapest, most abundant color out there. They aren't delaying the all-black Mustangs, but somehow delaying the Mustangs with the Black Roof? Maybe it's not exactly the black roof, and instead black headlights or wings or something? It's just easier to say black roof? Who freaking knows. I just want to see my car before winter. And luckily it sounds like I will.
Black is such a common and cheap color that enthusiast cars tend to be worth more if they’re not black, silver, or white.Facts! Black is one of the most common and standard color there is.

I have a nite pony in production as of 6/1Anyone heard any rumors about the 2024 GT night package with black roof vehicles
They don’t replace the roof panel. It’s part of the unibody and not removable unless you want to start cutting steel. They paint the car the base color, then paint the roof black.Facts!

This was my understanding as well, the second step to paint the roof black incurs time and cost, and is why it is a constraint and costs extra. Don't know for sure, but that was my understanding.They don’t replace the roof panel. It’s part of the unibody and not removable unless you want to start cutting steel.

Pretty sure it's all done at FRAP.I'm willing to bet that because it has to be painted after, this requires the car to be sent to another place and maybe, just maybe, that place is not ready...
Just a guess...
